The True Lover Closes His Eyes Poem by Mohammad Younus

The true lover closes his eyes,
On everything other than his Love;
And as such the fires of the undivine love go out;
As the evil inside the lover's mind dies,
A breath of fragrant air he heaves,
The day in and the day out;
The divine sun shines on his mind,
And as such the dark side of his mind,
Shines brighter than a diamond,
Illuminating all of his thoughts that sprout from his mind,
Erasing all the impressions of lies and carnal love;
He drinks the elixir of love and knowledge divine,
That cures the cracks in his mind;
Until he constantly remembers his name,
And remains fixed to Him by heart and soul.
